Critics Review

“This is a thoroughly researched and detailed guide for clinicians on the range of nutrition-related problems in cancer patients and appropriate interventions. It is comparable to Nutritional Issues in Cancer Care, Kogut and Luthringer (Oncology Nursing Society, 2005), but it is more comprehensive and up to date.” (Doody’s, 26 August 2011)
